Children’s Drawings on Climate Change Take Center Stage at Cancún Environmental Art Exhibition

Cancún, Quintana Roo — An art exhibition featuring children’s drawings about climate change and the protection of marine ecosystems will open in Cancún this weekend, part of the 14th Festival of the Oceans.

Delphinus, the organization behind the festival, is presenting the partial exhibition titled “Art and Environmental Education on Climate Change.” The show opens Saturday, October 17, at 5:30 p.m. in the lobby of the Teatro de la Ciudad.

Drawings from Mexico and Abroad

The collection gathers work by girls and boys from several Mexican states as well as from other countries. In their pieces, the young artists express how they see the damage people cause to the planet, and their drawings reflect concern for wildlife and ecosystems.

Organizers describe the exhibition as a way to open a conversation about the planet’s future and to bring environmental themes to families through artistic proposals.

Focus on Coasts and Oceans

The works address issues including coastal conservation and ocean protection, and invite viewers to consider the environmental challenges facing the planet. Organizers said the show aims to strengthen the bond between people and their surroundings and to encourage a sense of shared responsibility for protecting what they call “our blue planet.”

The exhibition also highlights the importance of preserving the natural wealth of the Mexican Caribbean, where marine ecosystems form an essential part of the region’s heritage. The event is one of the activities scheduled under the Festival of the Oceans, which Delphinus promotes to encourage care for the marine environment.
